Ahead of its expected Computex 2024 debut, Acer’s Nitro-branded Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards have surfaced on a Swiss retailer’s website with unexpectedly high price tags. The listings reveal two variants of AMD’s upcoming mid-range GPU, including both 8GB and 16GB models, though the current pricing appears significantly inflated compared to anticipated MSRPs.
Key Details From the Retail Listings
The Swiss retailer’s premature listing shows Acer preparing two versions of its Nitro RX 9060 XT:
- 8GB model priced at 508 CHF (~$566 without VAT)
- 16GB model priced at 556.70 CHF (~$620 without VAT)
These placeholder prices raise eyebrows, as they approach or exceed the cost of AMD’s more powerful RX 9070 series. Industry insiders suggest the actual MSRP should land closer to $350 for the 8GB version and $400 for the 16GB model when officially announced. The cards feature a dual-fan cooling solution and a single 8-pin power connector, targeting mainstream gamers rather than enthusiasts.
What We Know About the RX 9060 XT
While AMD hasn’t officially revealed specifications, leaks indicate the RX 9060 XT will feature:
- 2048 stream processors
- 128-bit memory bus
- 200W TDP
- 2x DisplayPort + 1x HDMI outputs
The more affordable cooling solution (compared to Acer’s triple-fan RX 9070 models) reflects the card’s position in AMD’s product stack. However, the leaked Swiss pricing – likely including retailer markup – suggests availability could be tight at launch.

Why These Prices Probably Won’t Stick
Several factors indicate these listings represent placeholder figures rather than final pricing:
- Switzerland’s 8.1% VAT inflates the apparent cost
- Early listings often exaggerate prices before official MSRPs are set
- Competition from NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 series will force aggressive pricing
Tech analysts expect AMD to position the RX 9060 XT as a 1080p/1440p contender, with the 16GB model potentially offering better longevity for modern games. The card’s Computex unveiling (May 20-23) should provide clarity on performance targets and official pricing.

For now, prospective buyers should view these early listings with skepticism and wait for AMD’s official announcements before making purchase decisions. The current prices would make little sense in the broader GPU market, especially with AMD’s own RX 9070 series offering better performance at similar costs.
